End Polio Now
WHAT WE DO
The goal of your End Polio Now Zone Coordinators (EPNZC’s) is to foster fundraising, advocacy, and awareness at the district level toward the achievement of a polio-free world.
HOW WE CAN HELP
- Keeping District Governors, District Foundation Committee Chairs, and District PolioPlus chairs updated on the latest news and accomplishments in the fight against this disease.
- Keeping Rotarians informed and inspired by speaking at Rotary meetings, conferences, institutes, and other appropriate functions, both in-person when able, and via virtual online meetings as well.
- Sharing and informing leaders of available resources for educational purposes.
- Promoting Districts’ PolioPlus fundraising efforts by publicizing, and where possible, by direct participation (bike rides, runs, ice bucket challenges, etc.)
- Encouraging Districts to collaborate and/or share fundraising ideas.
- Acting as a resource for anything “polio” you may need. We are here to support you. Just ask.
